「A woman suspected of murdering an eight-year-old girl in southern Mexico was beaten to death after a mob formed from protests sparked by the killing.

Violent protests began after the body of Camila Gómez was found by a road near the city of Taxco on Thursday.

Footage on social media showed police watching on as a woman locals believed to be responsible for the killing was brutally beaten in broad daylight.

Two men also suspected by locals of involvement were attacked but survived.

Camila disappeared on Wednesday after entering a neighbour's house to use their swimming pool.」

　リンチの場を、車をひっくり返して道路封鎖して確保したり。なかなかにmobというには手際が良い。なにしろこの種のリンチ殺人はまあまあ珍しくない。

「Taxco residents overturned cars, blocked a road and surrounded three people they believed had killed the girl.」

　2022年の事件、2018年の事件。噂によればあいつが幼女誘拐犯だとよ…！といったうわさ話に乗って集合した人々によるリンチ殺人。なお本気で無関係だったりすることがですね…？

「In June 2022, a politician was beaten to death by a crowd of around 200 people after accusations he was involved in a child kidnapping were spread online.

In November 2018, a shop owner in the central Mexican state of Puebla was burned to death after similar rumours circulated on WhatsApp.」

　警察の公式発表的には、幼女誘拐殺人については男性一名を逮捕済みとか。
